3. Answer four questions about your creative process which lets other bloggers and visitors know what inspires you to do what you do.

Q1.WHAT I’M am I WORKING ON AT THE MOMENT?

Currently, for the entire month of April, I am following (http://www.napowrimo.net/ ) National Poetry Writing Month.My goal is to post a bit of poetry daily for 30 days. I am also working on my first (ever) fictional novel, “Churched-Out” (in the rewrite stages) I have yet to post any excerpts from this fictional story. Hopefully, when the time is right, I’ll bring my blog deeper in the fictional zone of more story-telling, with this Book. I am currently recording Poetry and its the most scariest and exciting thing to do on a weekly base. As I present my work to several platforms of Jazz and Traditional Church, along with Historical Sites.In other words, a sista can use some sleep…

Q2.HOW DOES MY WORK DIFFER FROM OTHERS IN MY GENRE?

Welp at heart, I’m a southern girl, who likes good food, jazz, blues and gospel. As a result, I like the sound of ink on paper. I like abstract poetry and clean drama. I gotta get my feelings out! My work is from a womanist perspective, in which I reference my own struggles. I like to re-tell old stories and bring certain levels of passion in my work. Most importantly, I try to keep it short!

I don’t have a whole lot of time, so I gotta make this writing thing quick, life happens.i.e.(kids,cooking,cleaning,church, me-time )

Q3. WHY DO I WRITE OR CREATE WHAT I DO?

I write because at the end of the day; maybe I want to let loose or moon-somebody. I could never pull that off real-life, so I write to see me. I create Poetry to feel humanity. The ups and downs (on the wagon off the wagon)

I want to stay happy and writing can get me happy…

Q4. HOW DOES MY WRITING/CREATIVE PROCESS WORK?

This process for me works after meditation or a good steamy shower. Most times, if I could write naked, I would. (laughing out loud- because I just told on myself) Although it appears, when the moon and I are up together, I can just flow. My writing process works when I’m honest with myself. ( like talking in the mirror) Then that space is clear and I can create.

I was given the date April 6, 2015, Here I am!

I am Brangien [Brangaine] of Weisefort, Ireland, lady-in-waiting to my cousin Isolde, who became promised to King Marc of Cornwall. His nephew Tristan escorted us to England by ship. But Tristan and Isolde fell in love at sea. As ye may know, or will find out, they cite the philter they drank as the cause, over which I was supposed to keep vigil. I would like to share my perspective of how I have created good in the world through my herbs and observations. There is much to tell, including how I have adopted this odd language. In good time. My life is in God’s hands. –Inspired by the modern French translations of the Tristan and Isolde texts
